Keys

Three primary operator panel keys provide for the basic, day-to-day control of the printer, as described below.

CANCEL

Cancels all jobs, if pressed when the printer is off line and

 

not in a fault state; clears all imaged and buffered data

 

Clears faults and puts the printer in the off line state, if

 

pressed when the printer is in a fault state, either on line or

 

off line; will not clear imaged and buffered data

 

This key has no effect when the printer is on line and

 

running

FEED

With the printer off line, pressing the FEED key will cause

 

the printer to print any labels that have been imaged and

 

also the current label in progress; if no label is being

 

processed, a blank page will print

ON LINE/PAUSE

Temporarily stops the printing of labels and controls the

 

online/offline status of the printer. Pressing the key when

 

the printer is printing will:

 

stop the print mechanism when printing of the current

 

label is completed, and hold all data in memory

 

start the ON LINE/PAUSE indicator blinking

 

indicate to the host system that the printer is busy

Pressing the key when the printer is paused will:

restart the printer

turn on the ON LINE/PAUSE indicator

Pressing the key when the printer is in a fault condition allows toggling between displaying the appropriate error message on the message display and allowing access to the user or service menus.
